My Creative Space



Not a lot happening, just making some little patchwork linen pouches....but sneaking into the photo is something very exciting indeed.
Little Snoopy.
I used to have one of these when I was little, and I adored it. We gave it away years and years ago when I was still small, and over the years I have often thought about it, I loved it so much.
Now that little m has arrived into the world, I seem to constantly be lamenting about the toys of my own childhood. They seemed so much more imaginative and beautiful than the plastic toys available now.
But yesterday afternoon, a surprise package arrived from my beautiful mum. Nestled inside was Little Snoopy. I was overcome with joy, squealing in delight, he brings so many happy memories back. Little m was watching me as if I was crazy, he couldn't understand what all the fuss was about.



But now Little Snoopy is sitting proudly in my studio, bringing a smile to my face.

Pop over to Kirsty's to see more lovely creative spaces.

  4. Beautiful sentiment. What a special toy for you and your littlest. I feel exactly the same about toys from my childhood, and NOW I am so grateful that my parents kept so many of them.

  5. You and Little Snoopy. Me and the Fisher Price phone... I couldn't believe my luck when I found one at a church fete... and another at an op shop. And my kids hardly ever play with them!! I would have thought I was the luckiest girl in the world if we'd had two of them when I was little!!

  11. we had a little snoopy too when we were kids. He is wood with a paper body glued on isn't he, and wobbly wheels that make his tail bob around. I know why you like him so much :o)
